2 Quick Guide - 1

QUICK GUIDE: DIP-Switches

Whenever a switch setting is changed, power MUST be cycled to the operator.

Every time the operator is powered up, the First open command will automatically run “Multiple

gate cycles” that will locate and remember the gate’s open and close positions (See page 20).

Normal Setting. Gate fully opens.

Gate stops short 1” from full open position. Used for a reversing edge device.

Gate stops short 2” from full open position. Used for a reversing edge device.

Gate stops short 3” from full open position. Used for a reversing edge device.

Switch 1 Must OPEN the gate upon initial AC power up and open command. If the first open command begins to close the gate,

turn AC power off and reverse this switch. Opening direction will vary depending on the chain setup position (See above).

Switch 2 Turns the auto-close timer on or off. Can be adjusted from 1 to 23 seconds to close gate.

Switch 3 This switch determines when the relay on the board will be activated. This relay can be used as a switch for various

functions such as illuminating a warning light when the gate is not closed, or turning on a green light when the gate is full open.

Switch 4 This switch determines the operation of the built-in solenoid lock. The OFF setting is the factory setup. Caution: Do not

set this switch to ON unless the 2600-862 fail-secure manual release kit has been installed in the operator. Changing this

switch to the ON setting without installing the lock kit will damage the operator. See pages 32 and 33 for more information

about Fail-Safe vs. Fail-Secure release systems.

Switches 5-6 These work in conjunction with each other and determine if the operator will stop the gate at the full open

position, or if the gate should stop 1, 2 or 3 inches short of the full open position. Needed only when using a reversing edge

entrapment protection device on the opening edge of the gate with an end post as the physical stop.

Switches 7-8 These work in conjunction with each other and determine if the operator will stop the gate at the full close

position, or if the gate should stop 1, 2 or 3 inches short of the full close position. Needed only when using a reversing edge

entrapment protection device on the closing edge of the gate with an end post as the physical stop.

The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate

access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that

persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

All openings of a horizontal slide gate are

guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to

a minimum of six (6) feet (1.83 m) above the ground

to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere

from passing through the openings anywhere in the

gate and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the

gate covers in the open position.

Note: A filler post or

barrier may need to be

installed in the gap area

to reduce the distance

to 2 1/4 inches or less.

A contact sensor should

be installed in this area

for safety.

Instructions regarding intended installation:

Vehicular gates should be constructed and installed in accordance with ASTM F2200; Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular Gate Construction.

For a copy of this standard, contact ASTM directly at 610-832-9585; [email protected]; or www.astm.org.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

3. Always keep people and objects away from gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

4. Test the operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop or reverse when an object activates the non-contact sensors.

After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of

injury or death.

5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.

6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner's manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.

8. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

ASTM F2200 Standard for Gate Construction

• Install the gate operator only if:

1. The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage class of the gate.

2. All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 6 feet (1.83 m) above the ground to

prevent a 2 ¼ inch (57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent fence

that the gate covers in the open position.

3. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.

4. Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

• The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian

access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular gate

during the entire path of travel of the vehicular gate.

• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and closing to

reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates should not open into public access areas.

• The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator

clutch, pressure relief valve or reduce reversing sensitivity to compensate for a damaged gate.

• For gate operators utilizing Type D protection:

1. The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving.

2. A warning placard shall be placed adjacent to the controls.

3. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed.

4. No other activation device shall be connected.

• Controls intended for user activation must be located at least six feet (6’) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user is prevented from

reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Outdoor or easily accessible controls should have a security feature to prevent

unauthorized use.

• The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.

• A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, one on each side of the gate where easily visible.

• For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor:

1. See the instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.

2. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving in the opening direction.

3. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exist, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving

gate or barrier.

• For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:

1. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exist, such as at the leading edge, trailing edge, and

post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

2. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.

3. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot gate.

4. A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not

subjected to mechanical damage.

5. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall

be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar

obstructions. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

6. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).

• Be sure you have instructed the owner of the gate operator about safe and proper operation and testing of the gate operator.

9050-065-N-1-21

Vehicular gate operator products provide convenience and security. However, gate operators must use high levels of force to move gates and most people

underestimate the power of these systems and do not realize the potential hazards associated with an incorrectly designed or installed system.

These hazards may include:

• Pinch points

• Entrapment areas

• Reach through hazards

• Absence of entrapment protection devices

• Improperly located access controls

• Absence of vehicle protection devices

• Absence of controlled pedestrian access

In addition to these potential hazards, automated vehicular gate systems must be installed in accordance with the UL 325 Safety Standard and the ASTM

F2200 Construction Standard. Most people are unaware of, or are not familiar with, these standards. If an automated vehicular gate system is not properly

designed, installed, used and maintained, serious injuries or death can result. Be sure that the installer has instructed you on the proper operation of the

gate and gate operator system.

Be sure that the installer has trained you on proper and safe operation of this gate operating system and about the basic functions of the required

reversing systems associated with your gate operating system and how to test them (see section 8). These include reversing loops, inherent reversing

system, electric edges, photoelectric cells, or other external devices.

• This Owner’s Manual is your property. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• Be sure that all access control devices are installed a minimum distance of 6 feet away from the gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a

person cannot touch the gate or gate operator while using the device. If access control devices are installed in violation of these restrictions,

immediately remove the gate operator from service and contact your installing dealer.

Important Notices

• Loops and loop detectors, photo-cells or other equivalent devices must be installed to prevent the gate from closing on vehicular traffic.

• The speed limit for vehicular traffic through the gate area is 5 MPH. Install speed bumps and signs to keep vehicular traffic from speeding

through the gate area. Failure to adhere to posted speed limits can result in damage to the gate, gate operator, and to the vehicle.

• Be sure that all persons who will use the gate system are familiar with the proper use of the gate and gate operator and are familiar with the

possible hazards associated with the gate system.

• Be sure that warning signs are permanently installed on both sides of the gate in an area where they are fully visible to traffic.

• It is your responsibility to periodically check all entrapment protection devices. If any of these devices are observed to function improperly,

remove the operator from service immediately and contact your installing or servicing dealer.

• Follow the recommended maintenance schedule.

• Do not allow children to play in the area of the operator or to play with any gate-operating device.

• To remove the gate operator from service, operate the gate to the full open position and then shut off power to the operator at the service panel.

Opening device MUST be mounted a

minimum of 6 feet from the gate and

NOT accessible through the gate!

SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION

1.2 Physical Stops for the Gate

1.1 Hardware for the Gate

Good hardware is essential for proper operation of a sliding gate. DoorKing has a full line of gate hardware products that will

ensure safe, reliable and long lasting gate operation. The gate must be properly installed and roll smoothly in both directions.

Rubber bumper faces toward

operator. it will make contact

with the operator housing

during the initial automatic

“Multiple gate cycling” to

set the open and close

gate position.

The 9050 automatic open/close gate limits must have a physical

stop on the open and close positions of the gate. This can be the

use of end posts with gate end retainers or chain stops, depending

on the mounting position of the operator. Chain stops DO NOT

meet the ASTM F2200 requirements.

Gate End Retainer - Helps stabilize

the end of the gate in the open or

closed position. Recommended for

all slide gate applications.

Endless Idler Assembly with

Protective Cover - Helps to

minimize a pinch point for a

180° chain return.

Guide Rollers with

Protective Covers - Helps

to minimize a pinch point

on the gate.

Roller Bearing V-Wheels

with Protective Cover - Helps

to minimize a pinch point on

the gate’s wheel and V-rail.

Chain Stops

Gate

Prior to beginning the installation of the slide gate operator, we suggest that you become familiar with the

instructions, illustrations, and wiring guide-lines in this manual. This will help insure that your installation is

performed in an efficient and professional manner compliant with UL 325 safety and ASTM F2200 construction

standards.

The proper installation of the vehicular slide gate operator is an extremely important and integral part of the

overall access control system.

Check all local building ordinances and building codes prior to installing

this operator. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local codes.

1.8 Installation of Warning Signs

This DoorKing Slide Gate Operator is shipped with two warning signs. The purpose of the warning

sign is to alert uninformed persons, and to remind persons familiar with the gate system, that a

possible hazard exists so that appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce

exposure to the hazard. See page 3 for suggested mounting positions of signs.

• Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so that the signs are visible

by persons on both sides of the gate.

• Use appropriate hardware such as wood or sheet metal screws (not supplied) to install the

warning signs.
